AA&R Monthly form questions

[David J Jackson]

Goody Day,

What goes in the 8 fields that are colored “blue” at the bottom of the columns?

What do the fields MDFgn=, MDFgs=, MDFg=, R repersent?

Thanks in advance,

David Jackson

Hi David,

The blue cells in the Solar Section white light reporting form are for the total number of groups (gn, gs, g), sunspots (fn, fs, f) or sunspot number R seen during a month.  Gn, Gs and G are the number of active area/groups seen in the northern hemisphere, southern hemisphere and the whole solar disk on each observing day respectively. If you only count the number of groups for the whole disk, then please leave the gn, gs, fn, fs columns blank.  R is 10*g + f.

The MDF values are the mean daily frequency values for gn, gs, g – i.e. these are the average number of groups during the month. Finally R in cell J43 is the average R value for the month.

Once you have completed your form, please send to Lyn Smith (solar@britastro.org).

Peter,

Thanks for your reply. Do you mean I send a scanned/pdf copy of my report to Lyn?

Thanks again,

David

Hi David,

I suggest just emailing the excel file to Lyn. She will extract your observations and use them for the monthly solar section newsletter.
